Challenged 'Parole To Have Child' Order, Supreme Court Said This
NDTV
On April 18, the Rajasthan High Court gave parole to Nand Lal -- who is in Ajmer Central Jail -- after his wife approached the court, seeking that she be allowed to have a child.
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to intervene in a Rajasthan High Court's ruling which had granted parole of fifteen days to a life-term convict to father a child.
The high court's order was challenged in the Supreme Court by the Rajasthan government last month. The state government in its petition had contended that the order has opened flood gates and that many convicts are now applying for parole on the same ground.
The Supreme Court today asked the Rajasthan government to approach the high court with its concerns.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Bela M Trivedi said if any other convict gets furlough on the same ground and the Rajasthan government has an objection to it, then it can approach the High Court.
